• Buy plants
• Create a fresh and positive environment.
• Placing greens in one empty corner of your room
  can make the overall room aesthetic a lot nicer.
  Plants are a fantastic choice to filter and clean
  the air. Along with this, it also adds a subtle
  touch of decor and radiates energy to any dull
  space
• Revamp your reading spot
• Play with fabrics and shapes to brighten your
  reading space.
• How about creating a designated reading nook? If
  you dont have any empty space left, then dont
  worry. Transform your study table or design your
  formal living room into a cosy lounge area with
  books placed in a sophisticated manner. Or
  arrange a bookshelf in your bedroom, a wooden and
  covered bookshelf with sophisticated curtains and
  plain bedsheets would give an elegant look to
  your bedroom.
• Dont forget to add some hanging souvenirs and
  plants to make the place look more presentable.

Make some space for a mirror

Place the mirror in the correct place to optimise
natural light.

A fancy mirror will help you get more light
bouncing around in the room, making it look
spacious. Place your mirror in such a way that it
doesnt face your bed. Its not right, if you
believe in vastu then this is an essential tip
for you.

An oversized mirror will give more glimpses of
your beautiful self without turning your phone
camera on.

Dazzle your room with the exquisite wall tapestry


Tapestry adds personality and visual interest to
the room.

Hang a tapestry on the wall or lay it on the
ground to add warmth and texture to your bedroom.
Along with hanging wall arts and paintings,
hanging quilt or patterned tapestry can help to
break the sluggish look.

Turn your rug upside down

Oriental rugs are beautiful inside out.

Isnt it getting boring for you to see your rug
at the same place for decades?

If thats the case, then flip your rug upside
down to unveil the textural weave and expose the
muted colours. You can also layer multiple rugs
in one space for added patterns and visual
interests.

Add a more eccentric look to your space by
complimenting with curtains, sofas and bedsheets
in your home. A bright-coloured or bold-patterned
rug with plain curtains and bedsheets, gives a
complementing look.

Re-paint your furniture

Time to reuse your leftover paint cans and
sprays.

Remove all your leftover paint cans lying in the
storeroom and start painting your dressing table,
door or any other piece of furniture for an
instant refresh look. It can be anything as
simple as painting the legs of your chair or the
doorknob with your favourite colour.

Get rid of unwanted things

Declutter your space.

This is the wisest thing to do. Instead of adding
elements, you might want to edit your decor to a
minimum. Make room for your favourite pieces and
then dump the rest into your storeroom or give in
charity. We are pretty sure you will love your
relatively empty bedroom.

Invest in headboard

Headboards can be a game-changer.

Look for a simple and affordable headboard to
change the overall look of your bedroom. If you
dont feel like spending on one, then create your
own by wrapping old plywood in a fabric.

You can make about any surface look like a fancy
crown for your bed. Browse for various DIY
options on YouTube.

Mess with your lighting scheme

Overhead lighting shouldnt be your only light
source. For better lighting effects, get a table
lamp or floor lamp to lighten up every corner of
your room. Also, placing lights at different
heights around your room can add a little more
pop and bring in positive vibes in the room.

Choose your desired lighting schemes to get that
vintage, bold, modern or subtle look.

Say N-O to blinds

Firstly, blinds are not attractive. Period!

We know its super easy to put up a few curtains
with a little more character. Now, its time to
take down those age-old blinds entirely and add
curtains instead. Replace it with tension rods
and feel free to hang any type of curtain and a
new drapery.

Refresh your bed sheets

Nothing beats the comfort of your bedroom after a
long, hectic day. Indulge in comfortable bedding
by adding visual interest and texture. Bring in
soft, breathable and vibrant bed sheets that can
effortlessly coordinate with your home decor.

Choose floral printed bedsheets to enhance the
beauty and grace of your bedroom. For a
comfortable and relaxed look, plain bedsheets are
perfect too.

Dont forget to buy your plain bedsheets online.

Rearrange your furniture

Make some place for rusty furniture.

A different arrangement of furniture can enhance
your bedroom. Try moving your bed to another wall
or simply push your dresser into one corner and
rediscover a whole new chunk of space you never
thought your bedroom had. Bring in modern and
timeless furniture for a chic look.

Clean the clutter right away

Spend about an hour cleaning the clutter.

Make a habit of putting your clothes away or
clean your dressing table regularly. Dont wait
to clean your room until it has turned into a
complete mess. Get rid of all the clutter
whenever it starts to build. This behaviour will
make your life much more comfortable in the long
run.

Opt for creative storage options. Introduce
versatile furniture with multiple drawers to
prevent storing issues.
